MOODA03 | First Characterization of a Fully Superconducting RF Photoinjector Cavity | 41 |
|
||
As a first step towards a high brightness, high average current electron source for the BERLinPro ERL a fully superconducting photo-injector was developed by HZB in collaboration with JLab, DESY and the A. Soltan Institute. This cavity-injector ensemble is made up of a 1.6-cell superconducting cavity with a superconducting lead cathode deposited on the half-cell backwall. A superconducting solenoid is used for emittance compensation. This system, including a diagnostics beamline, has been installed in the HoBiCaT facility to serve as a testbed for beam dynamics studies and to test the combination SRF cavity and superconducting solenoid. This paper summarizes the characterization of the cavity in this configuration including Q measurements, dark current tests and field-stability analyses. | ||

MOPS051 | Modeling of the Beam Break Up Instability for BERLinPro* | 718 |
|
||
Following funding approval late 2010, Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin officially started Jan. 2011 the design and construction of the Berlin Energy Recovery Linac Project BERLinPro. The initial goal of this compact ERL is to develop the ERL accelerator physics and technology required to accelerate a high-current low emittance beam. In this work the threshold current of the Beam Break Up (BBU) instability was calculated for the BERLinPro. The comparison of two 100 MeV linacs based on different type of superconducting cavities is made. Different methods of BBU suppression are investigated (e.g. the influence of solenoid, pseudo-reflector and quadruple triplets in the linac structure on the BBU threshold). | ||
TUPO028 | Emittance Compensation Scheme for the BERLinPro Injector | 1497 |
|
||
Following funding approval late 2010, Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin officially started Jan. 2011 the design and construction of the Berlin Energy Recovery Linac Project BERLinPro. The initial goal of this compact ERL is to develop the ERL accelerator physics and technology required to accelerate a high-current (100 mA) low emittance beam (1 mm•mrad normalized), as required for future ERL-based synchrotron light sources. Given the flexibility ERLs provides, a short bunch operation mode will also be investigated. The space charge is the main reason of emittance degradation in injector due to rather low injection energy (7 MeV). The implementation of emittance compensation scheme in the injector is necessary to achieve such low emittance. Since injector’s optics is axially non-symmetric, the 2D- emittance compensation scheme* is proposed to be used. Other sources of emittance growth are also discussed.

Following funding approval late 2010, Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin officially started Jan. 2011 the design and construction of the Berlin Energy Recovery Linac Project BERLinPro. The initial goal of this compact ERL is to develop the ERL accelerator physics and technology required to accelerate a high-current (100 mA) low emittance beam (1 mm•mrad normalized), as required for future ERL-based synchrotron light sources. Given the flexibility ERLs provides, a short bunch operation mode will also be investigated. Current optics was designed to allow of low emittance and short bunch operation modes. Optics is flexible to suppress BBU and minimize CSR effects. Estimation of impact of ion accumulation, wake fields, halo and chromatic aberrations is given. Requirements for beam diagnostic system, alignment accuracy and power supply stability are investigated. | ||
THPC109 | First Demonstration of Electron Beam Generation and Characterization with an All Superconducting Radio-frequency (SRF) Photoinjector* | 3143 |
|

Funding: Work supported by Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung und Land Berlin. The work on the Pb cathode film is supported by EuCARD Grant Agreement No. 227579 In preparation for a high brightness, high average current electron source for the energy-recovery linac BERLinPro an all superconducting radio-frequency photoinjector is now in operation at Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin. The aim of this experiment is beam demonstration with a high brightness electron source able to generate sub-ps pulse length electron bunches from a superconducting (SC) cathode film made of Pb coated on the backwall of a Nb SRF cavity. This paper describes the setup of the experiment and first results from beam measurements. |
